Propagation Dome & Tray

This Propagation set is 230mm Wide x 380mm Long x 160cm High and provides a moist environment for raising seeds or cuttings. It has no drainage holes in the base of the tray.

Line the tray with damp pumice, say 2 cm deep. Soak your chosen cloning medium in Canna Rhizotonic at 4mls per litre of water to accelerate the root formation process. S lightly push your jiffy 7 or stonewool cube., into the pumice which will act as a wick to draw the water up to your cutting/seed. When roots show through the sides of the jiffy/stonewool, transplant into a bigger pot.

Do not spray your cuttings if you are using a propagator, just keep the vents closed for the first week. If you foliar spray as well you can easily cause damping off (stem rot).

Always use a rooting hormone like Clonex with cuttings and use a scalpel blade to slice off your cutting. Using scissors can crush the cambrian (green outer skin of the plant) layer and cause rot.

Plants are like people, they can get infected through cuts. Using a sterile scalpel blade for every batch of cuttings helps avoid future problems. S oak/rest your blade in methylated spirits or Oxygen Peroxide between cuts for extra sterility

Heatpads can be placed underneath the tray during the colder periods. We recommend keeping a thermometer inside the propagating bin so you always know the temperature.

This Propagation set is easy to clean and disinfect after each use. Unlike polystyrene bins which absorb water and mould spores.
